At
DSEI 2011, Ultra Electronics presents the Sea Sentor a compact, modular
and self-contained system that integrates advanced TDCL (Torpedo Detection,
Classification & Localisation) techniques with a suite of soft-kill
countermeasures (comprising both off-board expendable devices and towed
decoy). |

In
operation, Sea Sentor detects active and passive homing torpedoes, including
wake homers, at sufficient range to enable the deployment of acoustic
countermeasures to maximise the probability of vessel survivability. It
uses a dedicated, passive digital array and intercept towed sensor to
achieve detection; this sensor is normally deployed to a depth below the
surface layer, so providing for a significantly greater detection range
over a hull-mounted sonar and beyond torpedo firing range. Automatic TDCL functionality is hosted on COTS processing technology located within the Sea Sentor electronics cabinet. Associated threat evaluation software provides full torpedo and countermeasure manoeuvre and action to the command, and automatically initiates countermeasures actions relevant to the specific threat. Expendable acoustic countermeasures, designed to seduce incoming torpedoes away from the host ship, are launched from eight-barrel fixed launchers, mounted port and starboard. An in-line flexible towed acoustic body, streamed behind the vessel, incorporates a multi-mode countermeasure device. Control and display equipment is designed to occupy a minimal footprint. A launcher control unit and heads-up display panel are fitted in the operation room with an additional heads-up repeater display on the bridge. |
